CoLrAN, Montana, Aug. cotj

entS few weeks ago. Will say that s.
far as that inquiry concerned me that tn
want Of time and other things, too numer
Gus to mention, has prevented me from re
porting sooner.
This camp can furnish ample material fo
short letter once a month, anyway, b,
one familiar with the working Of the N. NJ
and NJ. Co., TO say nothing Of the work he
ing done on the outside. The compan,
employs about fifty Or sixty men now II
prosecuting work on the mine, around the
saw mill and in constructing buildings
The boarding house, which is about com
rle!et, is 20 by ~ fect--two stories high
There is another good sized building nn.
der process ri construction.
The capacity Of the saw mill is from
5000 to 1000 fec, per day, with Mr.. E,nigh
a. the lever. don't think it would be
that much with Il less energetic ,nan :hcrc.
Work is being prosecuted vigorously in
the rnirc in rannin, levels, snkin, shafts,
and preparing to do Stopping.
The grade for the loistng works i, now
about completed, d they are now sinking
on the lode. At this poin. the progress has
been very slow because of the bank cav.
ing down into the works, dsplacinS the
timber> and film. up The cNca, alton made
'or the ''oistn. engine, which believe is
en- route and will bc put in place rs soon
after its arrival as possible

Prof. kanouse, Secretary Wvth and i
Mr. Scrtgs> OF :his company were here
from ST Louis last week and spent several
days examining The works and minc, and
il they went back iccin, blue it wa nn,h
ing more than natural that they should,
tor when mcn unacuuain,cl with ,hc min.
ing business invest in mines they expect TO
go into :hc Slopes aud levels and STE .r.u,
bodies OF rich ore sticking out evcryw where,
but such mines as that are few and are paid
fabulous prices for. This mine don, >l.ny
sucl, sights. The vein varies in width and
the pay shoots are here and there. like
mos, other mines.
believe they have good property, and
it will pay wcll ii not big, when it is open.
cd, and that is the opinion of others who
have been familiar with the working and
products OF the mine for The last ten or
twelve years.
Vansyckel, Means Il Co. are sinking on
the Sky High lode, and at Il depth OF -,
feet It shows a small vein Of pretty good
ore.
Hall, Rossitcr Il Go. have commenced
work on the BASIN lode across the uulch
from the Sky High, and they cleaned up
a hundred ounces from thirty odd tons OF
the quartz from the .:asin. /, promises
we'll and think is y good mine. There
are other prospects in this vicinity tina, look
well. \ general boom in the nea, future
rs one Of the things anticipated.
Sheridan is quiet. The peopl. seem to
0c moving along slowly rs they always do
at this season Of the year. The rancl,mcn
are all busy harvesting now, and am hap
py to say tina, they will have IN abundance
Of everything ,ha, grows here. Grain has
not been better for Il number of wears.
